Hello dear
High triglycerides and cholesterol can cause atherosclerotic heart disease or narrowed coronary arteries in the heart can cause the symptoms of angina, when theheart muscle is not provided with enough oxygen to function.
Decreased blood supply to the brain may be due to narrowed small arteries in the brain or because the larger carotidarteries in the neck may become blocked. This can result in a transient ischmic attack or stroke.
Peripheral artery disease describes gradual narrowing of the arteries that supply the legs. During exercise , if the legs do not get enough blood supply, they can develop pain , called claudication .
Other arteries in the body may also be affected by plaque buildup causing them to narrow, including the mesenteric arteries to the intestine and the renal arteries to the kidney.

Dear lybrate user, crt or cardiac synchronisation therapy is useful for patients who fulfill certain criteria for potential benefit in case of end stage heart disease. It is beneficial for not only for increasing lifetime but also for improving quality of life. The assessment for benefiting a patient who is a potential candidate for crt is done on a case to case basis and as such without examining the patient and his previous records it is very difficult to ascertain anything.

Dear lybrateuser,
-the fast heart beat is due to stress & anxiety
-to reduce stress do regular exercise like walking, jogging, swimming, outdoor games for 20-30 min a day, also do yoga, meditation & deep breathing for 10-15 min in the morning, you don't have to do these at a stretch, even short periods of 10-15 min spread over the day is beneficial
-other than work occupy your mind by reading, listening to music, following a hobby, socializing with friends as these have a calming effect on the mind
-eat well balanced, nutritious, home made food, avoid spicy, fried & junk food, more than 2-3 cups of tea, coffee if you take, also avoid alcohol & tobacco
-have a good restful sleep for 7-8 hrs at night, for this eat your dinner 2-3 hrs before bedtime, avoid watching tv & other gadgets 1-2 hrs before bedtime, read a book or listen to music before going to bed
-if still not much improvement then consult a doctor as you may require medication.
